Snow and Presidential Candidate Speeches

This has been one of those weeks that just seems to drag on forever. It's felt like Thursday all day today, and I've constantly had to remind myself that it's only Wednesday. In other news, we apparently have a winter storm warning for tomorrow, and it's expected to snow. It's felt like mid- or late fall for a while now, so it'll be interesting to see what happens with that.

In current events today our teacher showed us a speech Ron Paul gave the other day during the New Hampshire primary. That guy has some crazy ideas. I'm not saying whether I agree with them or not. (I don't know enough about them to really say one way or another.) But they're definitely things that make you think, and it's all stuff that I've never heard any presedential candidate say in the past. It makes things interesting, I guess. If you haven't heard one of his speeches or don't know what his campaign is, you should really check it out. It's a lot different from the other candidates' that's for sure.

The only way I'm going to make it through this week is to keep reminding myself that it's a three day weekend after this. (Maybe four day if we get enough snow and they don't make Monday a snow make-up day, but I'm not counting on that.) I still don't think I've fully adjusted to school again after break. I honestly spent most of today in a half-asleep daze, and I had to force myself to pay attention in class.

About Me

I'm 24 and recently graduated from college with an English and secondary education degree. Currently, I'm teaching English in Japan (on the island of Shikoku). I've been a reader for as long as I can remember, and at some point that bled into writing as well. I'm a huge nerd and obsessed with tons of different things, which I enjoy getting overly excited about on a regular basis.
